Transportation has been targeted as one of the most critical areas of the energy transition, but the electrification of our roads is not just a matter of swapping out gasoline tanks for charging ports. Instead it represents an intricate dance of technology, infrastructure, policy, and market dynamics that presents both challenges and opportunities. The transformation from traditional fuels to electric vehicles (EVs) necessitates leaders who can navigate the evolving terrains of utility industries and regulatory frameworks with a clear vision and purpose.

As the world stands on the cusp of an energy transition, traditional sectors are presented with unique challenges and opportunities. The natural gas industry, often at the intersection of debates surrounding decarbonization and energy security, is increasingly leaning on digital tools to reshape its narrative and meet future demands. Modern technologies, including Geographic Information Systems (GIS), are no longer mere support systems but vital catalysts for innovation and transformation.

While a recognized name to many due to his role as the host of our very own Energy Central Power Perspectives Podcast, Jason's unconventional journey from the hospitality industry to becoming a director with West Monroe in the Energy & Utilities practice is a testament to the diverse perspectives shaping the future of energy. With insights molded by his experiences outside the traditional confines of the sector, Jason exemplifies the very essence of innovative thinking.
